Great hands on play for your kids!…read more We were in the area and since it was hot we wanted an indoor activity for our kids. The museum recommends 8 and under. Our kids are 8, 7 and 5. The website does a great job of explaining where to park. We followed our gps and it took us the emergency exit entrance. The entrance is right on the main brick road. The museum will also validate your pass so parking is free. Entering was easy and we let the kids loose. We spent about 2 hours but they could have easily stayed longer. They do not allow food in the museum but you can come and go as you please. Great experience to let your kids explore.

Visited Charlottesville and this was the perfect little pitstop on the walk through the "mall". So…read moremany great shapes and then this for the kiddos was perfect and fun. The front has a lot of hands on stem stuff while you head down an alphabet corridor and get to play imaginationville with tractors, a bank, restaurant, Dr office as well as a music room and arts and crafts room. Had a great time. Seemed clean. Nice bathrooms. Price was right. Staff wasn't overly friendly but not rude either. The free carousel out front was a nice touch too! Would return.

Somehow, time and again, they manage to screw up the most basic things. Staff is rude and…read moreincompetent at a level that's frankly difficult to believe if you haven't experienced it. Don't trust them with your safety or your time.

Red Cross Blood donation center in Albemarle Square:…read more Under former management, this was a great facility with good people and a good process. Under the Red Cross management, it has fallen apart. Unpleasant staff, poor online registration process, delays when coming in with an appointment. Donating blood should be an easy and efficient process and good overall experience for the donor, particularly when the Red Cross is selling that donated blood with good margins. There needs to be another option in Charlottesville.

The emphasis on play-based learning provides for lots of outdoor time (they even have an outdoor classroom!) and art projects. Also appreciative of all the field trips. Our girls are excited to tell us about the fun things they do every day.

The staff at Westminster are second to none! I am so, so appreciative of the high level of…read morecommunication I get from my child's teachers - I always know what's going on and really trust them to care for my child. In addition, having such experienced teachers + staff means they are ready to make developmentally-appropriate recommendations for my child (e.g. - making suggestions about when to drop a bottle or switch to one nap). As a person with no prior experience with raising a child, I really value their perspective!
